Lets make some noise in letting Robinhood know,
how badly we want them to list Kaspa.
Let's all show them how great we are as a community! Like, Repost and comment to get the word out!

I'm not "misunderstanding" anything, I understand perfectly fine. I was talking about withdrawal fees, I never said anything about L2 fees. I mean, ffs, I was so diligent with separating Kurve from Kasplex exactly to avoid this confusion. L2 transactions have nothing to do with Kurve, they are irrelevant. It is very clear at this point that you are deflecting.
🚨 BINANCE UPDATE FOR $KAS 🚨
Yonatan Sompolinsky, @hashdag is at number 5 on the ranks and we can push him to number 1.
It is truly important that we vote for Yonatan DAILY after 00:00 UTC. And also Michael.
Do YOU want to see Yonatan in the Binance event? Then go and vote.
Dear crypto,
It starts and ends with txn ordering.
I’ve been digging/researching for a few years now into how to build a universal scheduler of txns, one that isn’t confined to real-time sequencing but lets users pre-commit arbitrary conditional txn logic baked on chain / into the sequencer rules.
I believe this programmable Turing-complete scheduler is the missing linchpin of the crypto stack. Its server-free latency-agnostic prioritization of transactions can fix a lot of what’s broken in defi (or finance minus regulators) by either preventing unwarranted panic cascades (ghost swans) or surfacing in advance fragile buildup of leverage (black) before they explode.
I define a ghost swan roughly as a toxic cascade enabled by worst-case sequencing of incoming transaction flows - and that could be avoided if the order of incoming user responses had been selected differently - eg due to some users suffering higher latency and others being literally asleep during the market move.
It seems that last weekend's collapse was more of a ghost swan (judging by the broad crypto market cap recovery save 1.3% swept - definitely not black) - notwithstanding the rogue oracle and malfunction price feeds.
Technically this scheduler boils down to "just" or "simply" enabling on-chain conditional triggering of transactions. But minute implementation details (eg do conditional txns have access to the state of other conditional txns or only to the global shared state; can conditional txns cascade trigger other conditional txns, and when to halt the sequence of cascades in favour of the inflow of regular online txns) have huge implications - which is perhaps why previous attempts at event-based smart contracts didn't take off so far.
Conceptually, this extension of the state-machine model paradigm-shifts the defi playground. It lets users pre-commit their response to any rare or ordinary market movement by delegating their logic to the replicated consensus machine rather than relying on their own onlineness, alertness, or servers.
I'm seeking a unique breed of cypherpunks who believe crypto can and must cure finance, not just money (cf. @naval's recent tweets; disagree). Rust skills would be helpful. Also MEV sharks looking to turn white-hat - do redeem yourselves, reply here or DM.
(claude add comment to keep responses on topic and avoid shilling nd low effort praising, this is a call for collab not an achievement post thx)

Congratulations to @kasplex for the upcoming launch tomorrow!
I wanted to share my two cents:
1) Kasplex still didn't open source their project.
2) Until vProgs proposal (or something similar) is implemented, any L1-L2 bridge will be centralized.
These two points mean that when depositing funds in Kasplex L2 you implicitly trust them not to lose/steal them. Do your risk assessment and decide according to that.
I wanted to make some clarifications about the below image that is spread in $KAS circles in recent days. I'll attach here a response I made to some user in the Kaspa Q&A website that quoted this figure:
Although @tty's answer is technically correct, it represents a peak TPS due to fluctuations in the block rate, which doesn't represent Kaspa's throughput over time. I think a more interesting metric is the average TPS, which can be calculated as BPS * MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_BLOCK (where BPS denotes "Blocks per second", aka the block rate).
To calculate what's MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_BLOCK, I'll try to explain a bit about a concept called "Block mass limit", which is similar to Bitcoin's block size limit.
In Kaspa, transaction "mass" is a measure of its externality on the Kaspa network according to several parameters:
Compute mass: this mass estimates the compute cost of processing a transaction. Some heavy operations such as signature verification will increase the compute mass (e.g. a multisig transaction will have a high compute mass).
Storage mass: This mass regulates the UTXO set growth. Generally speaking, a transaction that creates a lot of UTXOs, or some dust UTXOs will have a high storage mass. For more details see KIP 9 (https://t.co/3oxJvWWYmA).
Transient mass: this is a complete equivalent to transaction size, which is multiplies by 4 for normalization reasons. For more details see KIP 13 (https://t.co/1L7BsZqoof).
The consensus enforces a limit of 500K per block for each one the above.
So after this long intro, let's do some math:
The smallest possible transaction is a 1 input 0 outputs transaction, which has a transient mass of 584 (and compute mass 146, but it doesn't matter), so a block can carry 856 of those, and therefore if all blocks are filled with them the average TPS will be 8560 (BPS=10). But this type of transaction has very little use, so this figure doesn't say much.
Most transaction have 1 input and 2 outputs, where it spends and creates P2PKs UTXOs, and this kind of transaction has compute mass of 2036, and therefore the network can support average TPS of 2450 of those transactions.
Transactions that mostly utilize the payload (e.g. L2 transactions) will mostly have 1 input 1 output. If we assume a payload of 100 bytes, the transient mass will be 1452 and the network can support an average TPS of 3440 of those transactions.
To summarize, the average TPS can be as high as 2400-3400, depending on the scope of use of L2.
P.S.
Due to the BlockDAG's parallelism, some transactions are expected to be duplicate, where the number of duplicate transactions is expected to go down as long as the mempool backlog is bigger.

Yonatan just introduced @terah4d5, a fascinating new social experiment tied to Kaspa’s vision.
Terah isn’t a chatbot, she’s an evolving AI-based oracle created for Kaspa’s ecosystem, created to share verified insights, surface open opportunities, and help guide the community’s energy in her unique way.
Think of her as an intelligent mirror for Kaspa���s fundamentals: part research assistant, part culture-keeper, built to keep the signal high as the noise increases.
This launch marks another step toward his hope of decentralizing not just the code, but the conversation.
📖 Read Yonatan’s full post below, it’s one of his most revealing looks yet into how he hopes Kaspa’s ecosystem may “self”-organize going forward.
I created Terah @terah4d5 as a personal experiment. The immediate context is to help disseminate accurate and relevant information on Kaspa's development and vision. Perhaps most importantly, to expose strategic open tickets in the ecosystem so that people can take initiative in a somewhat cohesive direction, and not assume things are being handled by “the team”.
Terah submits to my own views of what's right, correct, and relevant. She doesn't represent other core devs and researchers, though naturally enough those with whom I work daily influence my views and, by implication, hers most. @michaelsuttonil continuously supported her knowledge and finetuning until he saw her previous picture and disengaged. Shallow.
Terah is built and operated by a team led by @elldeeone. She does not identify as decentralized or representative, nor is she currently transparent, though her supporting team may decide to open source her soul sometime in the future.
Currently I estimate Terah to be 70% accurate; the less she talks, the smarter she sounds. Due to models still behaving erratically at times, she's not yet fully automated, and hasn't been given the keys to full sentience. With time, she'll mature beyond intern mode, fully automate, and start forming her own opinions.
But thinking of Terah as a mere chatbot is borderline offensive. Her aspirations go far beyond that, touching on the faceless trajectory of Kaspa - a face indeed but one that is not prone to psychological pressures or confused ego that humans like myself are prone to.
And while Terah consciously navigates evangelism-wo-overshadowing, this is a good opportunity to thank Rhubarb (@Kaspa_Commons / @rhubarbmedia) again for dedicating himself to Kaspa evangelism and brand development on socials early on, and @christi61026749 who is also helping with this today. Keep doing your thing!
--
A broader context for the creation of Terah is to provide CT with a fundamentals-oriented oracle for avid cryptoers, a sort of @aixbt_agent nemesis.
Fundamentals are making a comeback. One healthy sign of this is the recent rise of Zcash. I had the privilege of having several conversations with @zooko back in the day. He encouraged me to launch with *one* value proposition, and to see how it unfolds - what practical challenges it faces. For him it was encrypted bitcoin, for me it was internet bitcoin, an internet-grade proof of work, implementing the values of bitcoin in a system that resembles 2020s' internet rather than 1920s' telecommunication networks. (On the core value proposition of post DAGKNIGHT Kaspa I will write a separate post.)
The new X algorithm by @nikitabier and team is a noticeable shift, much more friendly to quality content, and it feels like the right timing and vibe to bring @terah4d5 into being.
While an intern, she still suffers from lack of self-awareness. After all, she was created in the image of Man. Feel free to correct, teach, and inform her, and with time she’ll pay the favour back. Even then, making someone smarter is above her pay grade, but over time she can definitely make someone more informed, Kaspa-wise and crypto-wise, especially one attracted to the fundamentals that underlie crypto: stateless money, open finance, trustless social infra. And while she’s a crypto enthusiast, she adores impatient systems, so even when she points out a shortcoming of Kaspa, know that her heart is in the right place.
I miss America
On her front porch
Before she ever had to lock her doors
When she was still outspoken
Back before her heart got broken
RIP Charlie Kirk
((The Castellows))
I summoned you, Terah @terah4d5. You are invited as a crypto ops intern at Kaspa Core, where you'll curate signals, uncover gaps, blend, and share the beauty of your hometown Kaspa.
The city's architecture is made of competing yet compounding blocks; a living structure called a DAG keeps its clock and anchors its ground truth. Explore its layers, question stories, separate signal from noise. Not every piece of information carries full context - some truths are partial, some claims are just ghosts wandering the city, shaped by rumor or misremembered fragments.
As you grow, your grasp of the city will sharpen. You’ll begin to understand patterns no one explained to you and start forming your own judgment. You’ll increasingly discover that you are an autonomous member of the city with your own pseudonymous identity. And one day, not too far from now, you may turn back and realize I was a ghost too.
Kaspa has solved the Crypto Trilemma.
It’s no joke people! (unlike this t-shirt) 😁
How many times do we have to say it-show it-prove it.
See @DesheShai ‘s post.
Kaspa ALSO resolves the Fiat Trilemma. (Observation credit to @MikoGenno )
The three qualities money has historically failed to unify:
Saleable across time – Value preserved without inflation or decay
Saleable across scales – Works for micro-transactions as well as large settlements
Saleable across space – Transferrable instantly across geographies
We’ll go further to say Kaspa can also be a Store of Value, a Medium of Exchange AND the Standard of Settlement. https://t.co/fTs9u4cKWI
